Alexander N. Green (born September 1, 1947) is an American lawyer and politician serving as the U. S. representative from Texas's 9th congressional district since 2005. A member of the Democratic Party, Green served as the justice of the peace of Harris County, Texas, from 1977 to 2004.
Throughout his tenure, Green has focused on issues such as abortion rights and expanding social programs. Green is a member of the United States House Committee on Financial Services, where he has advocated for stronger banking regulations and corporate accountability.
During President Donald Trump's first address to a joint session of Congress of his second term on March 4, 2025, Green repeatedly interrupted the event, heckling the President during his address and was escorted out of the chamber by staff for breaking with decorum. Green refused to be seated, pointing his finger at the president while shouting "you have no mandate." Two days later, on March 6, Green was censured for "breach of conduct", with ten Democrats voting in favor of the resolution.
